The servant room on the second floor (Pink Trigger)

I tried a few windows, looking for one that was both unlocked and leading to an empty room. It turned out to be a difficult search... after all, the servants were very thorough here. Wait... to my surprise, the one into the servant quarters itself is unlocked and the room is empty, which I can only tell by the light of my pink wings. Shannon and Kanon must be out trying to fix the generator issue or perhaps dealing with Beatrice's minions. At any rate, this is my entry point. I nudged the window open and moved inside, apologizing silently for letting the rain water in. Once inside, I closed it and locked it behind me, as though that would do anything to deter Beatrice's minions if they were following me.

It was totally dark inside that room, but my pink wings were tired... I removed them and summoned another lantern instead. The small room, with two bunk beds and a tiny desk to sit at, was illuminated with my erotic pink glow. I saw Gretel standing there by the window, looking troubled. I asked her why.

"I was just thinking about this story of yours. Can we talk about it? That seems more useful than spending the rest of the time doing... whatever it is you're doing."

Gretel, you've only just begun to read it. No offense, but I don't think your feedback is going to be particularly useful at this point.

"No, listen... When you curled up and died with your story... Frankly, everyone got a big laugh out of it. They used it to **** me, too. The reason I summoned you was really just to understand your story... Not this one, but your real one. What drove you to that point? I hoped that this story would help me understand that... But I'm just more confused than ever now."

Ah, Gretel... So my mystery is just a curiosity of yours?

Well, I must admit... There are things I'm curious about as well. Let's make a deal.

"What is it with you magicians and making deals?" Gretel sighed, taking a seat upon the lower bunk-bed as we spoke. "Fine... What's your deal?"
